Understand different overhead paging integration design options to utilize IP speakers, zone controllers, and the InformaCast Legacy Paging Interface for emergency notification.
Aspirus in northern Wisconsin deploys InformaCast across its facilities to standardize paging procedures. This has led to faster response times since staff only need to press a button on their Cisco phones to initiate a message.
Over the summer, schools in Tampa Bay reassessed their speaker and zone controller needs and installed Wahsega Labs’ Two-Classroom 2x2 Ceiling Speaker. These cost-effective speakers integrate with InformaCast to provide a secure learning environment.
…It provides a consistent means of communicating and informing regarding an incident to, not just our first responders in those multiple agencies, but also to our staff and parents who are in multiple buildings, and our students in multiple buildings.
